Sauces | |||
In cooking, a sauce is a liquid served on or used in the preparation of food. Sauces are not consumed by themselves; they add flavour, moisture, and visual appeal to another dish. Sauce is a French word taken from the Latin salsus, meaning salted. Sauces may be prepared sauces, such as soy sauce, which are usually bought, not made, by the cook; or cooked sauces, such as BĂ©chamel sauce, which are generally made just before serving. Sauces for salads are called salad dressing. Sauces are an essential element in cuisines all over the world. | |||
